    The 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO takes everything about the new GT-R to the next level


    Nürburgring, GERMANY (May 27, 2016) -- The new 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO made its debut today at the famous Nürburgring race course, known as the one of the longest and most challenging race tracks in the world. This is also the place where the Nissan GT-R’s potent performance was honed, tuned and developed.

    Like the standard model, the GT-R NISMO’s front end features a freshened face that’s highlighted by a new bumper. And to help cool the car’s high-output engine, the dark chrome V-motion grille has been enlarged to collect more air, without diminishing the car’s aerodynamic performance. A new significantly reinforced hood avoids deformation at extremely high speeds, allowing it to keep its aerodynamic shape at all times. But unlike the standard model, the front bumpers of the GT-R NISMO are made of carbon fiber, crafted with TAKUMI-like precision where layers of carbon-fiber sheets are carefully overlapped to achieve the ideal amount of stiffness. The canards have been designed to improve airflow around the vehicle and generate a high level of downforce, while at the same time, direct air around the wheelhouse to improve the aerodynamics. Overall, the car’s new shape generates more downforce than any other Nissan production car to date, which in turn results in exceptional high-speed stability.

    Which means absolutely nothing in the context of carbon fibre layup design. Surely one would want the whole car assembled with TAKUMI-like precision

    By all accounts it is undriveable on ordinary public highways with a suspension system and steering geometry totally biased towards the race track.
